I have recently installed version 2.2.4, and now I have a problem with the IDE. (Operating system Windows XP)
If I launch fp directly, IDE opens in a window with 80x80 display, and I can open a previously created source file within this window, and it all works fine. BUT if I click on the source file directly to open it, IDE opens in full screen mode with 40x25 display, and this is horrid! This used not to happen with the previous version I had (version 1.something), when it would open in a window with 80x80 display, the same as when starting IDE directly. I can't find anything in the documentation to help me resolve this problem, can anyone suggest how I can get round this problem? Graham Benyon-Tinker

Probably the IDE can't find it files, which could mean that the fpc directory is not in the path, or something is wrong with the working directory when a .pp is selected.

I typically use the IDE from a cmd box, so I don't know exactly how this is supposed to work.
